[0057] An embodiment of the present application provides a cable fault detection method, as shown in Figure 1 The method comprises the following steps:

[0058] In step S101, basic information of the cable to be detected is acquired, and a division rule is determined based on the basic information of the cable to be detected, and a cable detection model is established according to the division rule;

[0059] In step S102, basic information of the environment is acquired, and an environmental influence model is established according to the basic information of the environment;

[0060] In step S103, an original cable space model is constructed based on the cable detection model and the environmental influence model, a transmitter and a receiver are connected at two ends of the cable to be detected in a first direction, and the original cable space model is adjusted according to the first direction to obtain a first cable space model, and a plurality of microwave signals with different intensities are sequentially transmitted;

[0061] In step S104, a plurality of first reflection signal information corresponding to the microwave signals is determined based on the first cable space model, and first fault point information is determined according to the first reflection signal information;

[0062] In step S105, a transmitter and a receiver are connected at two ends of the cable to be detected in a second direction, and the original cable space model is adjusted according to the second direction to obtain a second cable space model, and a plurality of microwave signals with different intensities are sequentially transmitted;

[0063] In step S106, a plurality of second reflection signal information corresponding to the microwave signals is determined based on the second cable space model, and second fault point information is determined according to the second reflection signal information;

[0064] In step S107, the fault point information of the cable to be detected is determined according to the first fault point information and the second fault point information.

[0065] In this embodiment, the greater the intensity of the transmitted microwave signal, the greater the intensity of the reflected wave signal, and the position and type of the cable fault can be determined by detecting the change in intensity and phase of the microwave reflected wave, which is the principle of microwave detection.

[0066] In this embodiment, the basic information of the cable to be detected includes cross-sectional shape, conductor size, insulating layer thickness, dielectric material, etc. The determination of the division rule means that the number of sub-cables is determined according to some basic information of the cable, which facilitates subsequent modeling and detection.

[0067] In this embodiment, the transmitter and the receiver are connected at two ends of the cable to be detected in the first direction or the second direction, and the first direction is opposite to the second direction, which refers to the positions of the transmitter and the receiver. For example, the transmitter is at the left end of the cable, and the receiver is at the right end of the cable, which is the first direction. The second direction is opposite to the first direction, that is, the transmitter is at the right end of the cable, and the receiver is at the left end of the cable. Conversely, the same applies. The transmitter refers to a microwave source, a device that transmits microwaves, and the receiver refers to a device that receives reflected microwave signals (transmitted wave signals).

[0068] In the embodiment, the first direction and the second direction are opposite, which causes the measured fault point positions to be relatively different, and the amplitude and phase of the reflected signal change: due to the positions of the exchanged transmitter and receiver, the propagation distance of the reflected signal changes, and the impedance characteristics change. Accordingly, the original cable spatial model needs to be adjusted.

[0069] In the embodiment, the reflected signal information includes information such as the strength and phase of the reflected signal, the second fault point information is determined according to the second reflected signal information, and the first fault point information is determined according to the first reflected signal information, which means that the position and type of the fault are determined according to the information such as the strength and phase of the reflected signal. For example, the reflected wave strength changes greatly, but the phase changes little, which may indicate that the cable has internal damage or insulation aging problems. While the reflected wave phase changes greatly, but the strength changes little, which may indicate that the joint has poor contact problems.

[0070] In the embodiment, the first fault point information or the second fault point information is not a certain point, but a detected fault point in the first direction detection, and is not limited to a single point.

[0071] The above scheme has the following beneficial effects: the application establishes a cable detection model according to the division rule, constructs an original cable spatial model according to the environmental basic information, and determines the fault point information by comparing the change relationship of the microwave signal and the reflected wave signal information in different directions. The accuracy of fault point detection is improved, and the reliability of detection is ensured, thereby improving the stability of cable safe operation.

[0072] In some embodiments of the cable fault detection method of the application, the division rule is determined based on the basic information of the cable to be detected, and the cable detection model is established according to the division rule, which includes:

[0073] In the preset division table, find the standard value closest to the basic information of the cable to be detected and calculate the deviation amount, so as to determine the division amount, wherein each basic information in the division table corresponds to a standard value, and a plurality of standard values correspond to a division amount;

[0074] If all the deviation amounts are zero, the division amount is directly determined according to the preset division table;

[0075] If all the deviation amounts are not zero, the total deviation amount is determined according to each deviation amount and the respective preset weight, and the division amount is determined based on the total deviation amount;

[0076] If part of the deviation amounts are zero and the remaining part of the deviation amounts are not zero, the part with zero deviation amount is recorded as a first part, and the part with non-zero deviation amount is recorded as a second part, the standard value corresponding to the first part and the total deviation amount corresponding to the second part are determined, the standard value and the total deviation amount are converted into an intermediate value, and the division amount is determined according to the intermediate value;

[0077] The to-be-detected cable is divided into a plurality of sub-cables according to the division quantity, and transmission characteristic information of each sub-cable is established.

[0078] In the embodiment, the deviation quantity refers to a difference between the basic information of each to-be-detected cable and the standard value.

[0079] In the embodiment, each total deviation quantity corresponds to a division quantity, and each intermediate value corresponds to a division quantity.

[0080] In the embodiment, the cable is divided into a plurality of small sections, each of which has its own impedance and transmission characteristic parameter, and the transmission characteristic information of each sub-cable refers to a transmission line equation which can describe a relationship between voltage and current on the cable and includes a series of partial differential equations and needs to be solved by a numerical method. This is a conventional technique in the art and will not be described here.

[0081] In the embodiment, the division quantity refers to a number of division of a cable, but the length of each sub-cable is not limited and can be adjusted or set according to actual conditions.

[0082] The above scheme has the beneficial effects that the deviation quantity is determined according to the basic information of the to-be-detected cable and the standard value, the division quantity is determined according to the deviation quantity or the standard value, the subsequent model is conveniently established, the detection accuracy is improved, and the reliability of internal signal propagation of the cable is ensured.

There may be electromagnetic radiation sources in the surrounding equipment, such as communication base stations, radars, etc., which will generate strong electromagnetic fields and thus interfere with the microwave signal.

[0091] If the length of the sub-cable at both ends of the cable is greater than the average length of the sub-cable in the middle of the cable, the first distance and the second distance are determined according to the difference between the length of the sub-cable at both ends of the cable and the average length of the sub-cable in the middle of the cable;

The length of the sub-cable at both ends of the cable refers to the length of the first sub-cable at both ends.

[0117] An average value of the microwave signal intensity corresponding to the second direction is obtained, the second relationship curve is divided into a plurality of sub-curves according to the average value of the microwave signal intensity, and an average value of the slope of the second relationship curve is calculated based on the average value of the slope of each sub-curve.

[0118] If the average value of the slope of the first relationship curve and the average value of the slope of the second relationship curve satisfy a first preset corresponding relationship, the first fault point information is directly determined according to the first reflected signal information, or the second fault point information is determined according to the second reflected signal information.

[0119] If the average value of the slope of the first relationship curve and the average value of the slope of the second relationship curve do not satisfy the first preset corresponding relationship, the first relationship curve and the second relationship curve are divided into a plurality of sub-curves according to the average value of the microwave signal intensity corresponding to the first direction and the average value of the microwave signal intensity corresponding to the second direction, the similarity of each sub-curve corresponding to the first relationship curve and the second relationship curve is compared, the sub-curves with a similarity lower than a preset similarity threshold are screened out, the two sub-curves are adjusted according to the similarity threshold, and the corresponding positions in the first relationship curve and the second relationship curve are modified according to the adjusted two sub-curves, the first reflected signal information and the second reflected signal information at the corresponding positions are changed based on the adjusted first relationship curve and the second relationship curve, and the first fault point information is determined according to the first reflected signal information, or the second fault point information is determined according to the second reflected signal information.

[0120] In the embodiment, the first preset corresponding relationship is a corresponding relationship of two average values of slopes set in advance. For example, the average value x1 of the slope corresponds to the average value x2 of the slope.

[0121] In the embodiment, the similarity of the sub-curves is the similarity of the smoothness or the bending degree of the two corresponding curves.

[0122] In the embodiment, the first relationship curve refers to the change of the intensity of the reflected wave with the microwave signal intensity and the change of the phase of the reflected wave with the microwave signal intensity, that is, two curves. The second relationship curve is the same.

[0123] In the embodiment, adjusting the two sub-curves according to the similarity threshold means that the positions where the two sub-curves are not similar are moved to the middle position.

[0125] If the relationship between the first fault point position and the second fault point position satisfies the second preset corresponding relationship, the first fault point position or the second fault point position is taken as the fault point position of the cable to be detected;

[0126] If the relationship between the first fault point position and the second fault point position does not satisfy the second preset corresponding relationship, the third fault point position is found in the second preset corresponding relationship with the first fault point position as the reference, and the middle position between the third fault point position and the second fault point position is taken as the fault point position of the cable to be detected;

[0127] Or, if the relationship between the first fault point position and the second fault point position does not satisfy the second preset corresponding relationship, the third fault point position is found in the second preset corresponding relationship based on the second fault point position, and the intermediate position between the third fault point position and the first fault point position is taken as the fault point position of the cable to be detected.

[0128] In the embodiment, the second preset corresponding relationship means that the first fault point position and the second fault point position satisfy the corresponding relationship. In fact, if the fault point detected in the first direction and the fault point detected in the second direction have the same result, the first fault point position and the second fault point position are the same position on the cable, only the relative positions are different.
